Though I can't say I'm an eD fan, I agree with Ryan in the fact that this doesn't pertain to the product, or even the company for that matter.
If I were to say I didn't believe in illegal immigrants, or at this country's lack of proper discipline to them, I don't feel that it would really offend anyone on this forum. "Immigrant" is a general term and doesn't pertain to a specific race, nor is it really offensive because I'd be an immigrant if I decided to pack up and go to whatever country I'd like to go to. If you were flaming specific races (which is obvious with your mexican/iraqi statements), that's ban material. You're living in a country that is a melting pot of every race that exists, if you can't live with that you may as well move on. Unless you're a Native American, you might as well shut up about immigrants, because you were one and you don't have any right to point the finger at a mexican or an iraqi that wants to come over here as long as it's done the right way. If you don't believe in them coming over here illegally, then you have an argument and it is a far cry from what I'd consider worth being banned over.
